Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the management of data packets in mobile telecommunications networks, particularly but not exclusively networks operating according to the 3GPP standards or equivalents or derivatives thereof.
  • the present invention provides a communication method performed by a node of a telecommunication system, the method comprising:
  • the method may be performed in a source node of the telecommunication system in which the other communication node is a mobile communication device and further comprising receiving a handover response from a target node and in response stopping transmission of data packets to the mobile communication device and forwarding PDCP SDUs with their appended sequence number stored in said PDCP buffer to the target node.
  • the mobile communication device sends a status report to the ARQ entity of the source node, which identifies the sequence number of the last in-sequence PDCP SDU received and of any received out-of-sequence PDCP SDUs.
  • the source node can then use this information to determine which PDCP SDUs stored in the PDCP buffer to send to the target node.
  • out-of-sequence PDCP SDUs received from the other communication node are buffered and forwarded to the target node at handover.
  • the uplink PDCP SDUs are marked to differentiate them from downlink PDCP SDUs.
  • the invention provides a method of facilitating handover of a mobile communication device from a source node to a target node, the method being performed in the source node and comprising, in response to receiving a handover response from the target node:
  • the invention also provides a method of facilitating handover of a mobile communication device from a source node to a target node, the method being performed in the target node and comprising, in response to transmitting a handover response to the source node:
  • the invention still further provides a method performed by a mobile communication device at handover from a source node to a target node, the method comprising:
  • the invention provides, for all methods disclosed, corresponding computer programs or computer program products for execution on corresponding equipment, the equipment itself (user equipment, nodes or components thereof) and methods of updating the equipment.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a mobile (cellular) telecommunication system 1 in which users of mobile telephones (MT) 3-0, 3-1, and 3-2 can communicate with other users (not shown) via one of the base stations 5-1 or 5-2 and a telephone network 7.
  • the base stations 5 use an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technique in which the data to be transmitted to the mobile telephones 3 is modulated onto a plurality of sub-carriers. Different sub-carriers are allocated to each mobile telephone 3 depending on the amount of data to be sent to the mobile telephone 3.
  • OFDMA orthogonal frequency division multiple access
  • a handover (HO) procedure is carried out in the source and target base stations 5 and in the mobile telephone 3, to control the handover process.
  • the handover process aims to provide an optimised hard handover (HHO) between the source and target base stations 5 with the following requirements:
  • a hard handover is one where there is a break in radio transmissions between the mobile telephone and the base stations during the handover, as opposed to a soft handover, where the mobile telephone will establish a radio link with both the source and target base stations during the handover procedure.
  • it is therefore more difficult to perform a hard handover whilst minimising packet loss and packet retransmission.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the main components of each of the base stations 5 used in this embodiment.
  • each base station 5 includes a transceiver circuit 21 which is operable to transmit signals to and to receive signals from the mobile telephones 3 via one or more antennae 23 (using the above described sub-carriers) and which is operable to transmit signals to and to receive signals from the telephone network 7 via a network interface 25.
  • a controller 27 controls the operation of the transceiver circuit 21 in accordance with software stored in memory 29.
  • the software includes, among other things, an operating system 31 and a downlink scheduler 33.
  • the downlink scheduler 33 is operable for scheduling user data packets to be transmitted by the transceiver circuit 21 in its communications with the mobile telephones 3.
  • the software also includes a handover module 35, the operation of which will be described below.
  • FIG 3 schematically illustrates the main components of each of the mobile telephones 3 shown in Figure 1 .
  • the mobile telephones 3 each include a transceiver circuit 71 that is operable to transmit signals to and to receive signals from the base station 5 via one or more antennae 73.
  • the mobile telephone 3 also includes a controller 75 which controls the operation of the mobile telephone 3 and which is connected to the transceiver circuit 71 on one hand and to a loudspeaker 77, a microphone 79, a display 81, and a keypad 83 on the other hand.
  • the controller 75 operates in accordance with software instructions stored within memory 85.
  • these software instructions include, among other things, an operating system 87.
  • the memory also provides uplink data buffers 89.
  • the software for controlling the handover process is provided by a handover module 91, the operation of which will be described below.
  • both the base station 5 and the mobile telephones 3 are described for ease of understanding as having respective discrete handover modules which control the handover procedure when a mobile telephone 3 moves from a source base station to a target base station.
  • the features may be provided in this way for certain applications, for example where an existing system has been modified to implement the invention, in other applications, for example in systems designed with the inventive features in mind from the outset, the handover features may be built into the overall operating system or code and so a handover module as a discrete entity may not be discernible.

  • the source base station 5-1 will be referred to as the source eNodeB (or simply eNB)
  • target base station 5-2 will be referred to as the target eNodeB.
  • the protocol entities used in LTE have the same names as those used in UMTS except for the Radio Link Control (RLC) entities which, under LTE, are called the Outer ARQ entities.
  • RLC Radio Link Control
  • the Outer ARQ entities of LTE have substantially the same (although not identical) functionality to the RLC entities of UMTS.
  • Figure 4 illustrates part of a protocol stack (lower three layers) used in the UE and eNodeBs.
  • the first layer is the physical layer (L1) which is responsible for the actual transmission of the data over the radio communication channel.
  • the second layer (L2) which is divided into three sub-layers - the Medium Access Control layer (L2/MAC) which is responsible for controlling access to the air interface; the Outer ARQ (Automatic Repeat request) layer (L2/OARQ) which is responsible for concatenation and segmentation of data packets, the acknowledgment of packets and the retransmission of data packets where necessary; and the PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) layer (L2/PDCP) which is responsible for header compression and ciphering.
  • L2/MAC Medium Access Control layer
  • L2/OARQ Automatic Repeat request
  • PDCP Packet Data Convergence Protocol
  • the second layer is the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer (L3/RRC) that is responsible for controlling radio resources used in the air interface between the eNodeB and the UE.
  • RRC Radio Resource Control
  • L2/Outer ARQ layer includes a number of Outer ARQ entities 95 used to manage the transmission of C-plane data and U-plane data
  • the L2/PDCP layer includes PDCP entities 97 used to process the C-plane and the U-plane data.
  • FIG. 5 schematically illustrates the operations performed by the PDCP entities 97 and the Outer ARQ entities 95 when processing downlink data packets.
  • a similar process is performed for uplink data packets, but in the reverse order.
  • PDCP SDUs (Service Data Units) 101 received by the PDCP entity 97 firstly undergo a header compression 102 to generate corresponding SDUs 103 with compressed headers.
  • the PDCP entity 97 then generates and appends 104 a sequence number (SN) to each SDU 103 identifying the number of the SDU in the sequence of SDUs for the UE.
  • the thus generated SDUs with SNs 105 are then buffered 106 in a PDCP buffer 107.
  • These SDUs are then ciphered 108 to generate the ciphered PDCP PDUs 109, which are passed to the Outer ARQ entity 95, where they are segmented to form Outer ARQ SDU segments 111.
  • Each Outer ARQ SDU segment is then tagged with data identifying the segment and its position within the corresponding PDCP PDU 109.
  • the Outer ARQ entity 95 reuses the PDCP sequence number (SN) and an OFFSET and LENGTH which indicate the position and length of the Outer ARQ segment in the original PDCP PDU 109.
  • the PDCP entity 97 During normal operation, for downlink AM (Acknowledge Mode) packets, the PDCP entity 97 will purge each PDCP SDU 105 from its buffer 107 as soon as the Outer ARQ entity 95 confirms that it has received acknowledgements for all the Outer ARQ segments 111 that contain the PDCP SDU 105. For downlink UM (Unacknowledged Mode) packets, the PDCP entity 97 deletes each PDCP SDU 105 from its buffer 107 as soon as the Outer ARQ entity 95 acknowledges the transmission of the Outer ARQ PDUs 111 containing the PDCP SDU 105. For uplink AM packets, the outer ARQ entity 95 receives packet segments from the UE and acknowledges receipt.
  • the Outer ARQ entity 95 then concatenates the received packet segments to generate ARQ SDUs which it forwards to the PDCP entity 97.
  • the PDCP entity 97 then deciphers the received ARQ SDUs and if the sequence number is not out of sequence, it removes the SN and decompresses the header before forwarding the packet to an MME/SAE Gateway in the telephone network 7.
  • the PDCP entity 97 stores the received packet in its buffer 107, until all the missing packets have been received at which point the PDCP entity 97 reorders the SDUs based on their PDCP sequence numbers, then removes the SN, decompresses the packet headers and forwards the received packets in correct sequence to the telephone network 7.
  • the Outer ARQ entity 95 receives the packet segments, concatenates them and sends them to the PDCP entity 97.
  • the PDCP entity 97 then deciphers the packets, removes their sequence numbers, decompresses their headers and then forwards them to the telephone network 7.
  • acknowledge mode (AM) Radio Link Control (RLC), in which receipt of data packets are acknowledged by the receiver, although the Outer ARQ entity (the equivalent of RLC for LTE) may not be identical to the RLC in all aspects.
  • UM unacknowledged mode
  • Figure 6 shows timings when it is proposed to stop the U-plane data transmission in the Downlink (DL) and the Uplink (UL), together with the details of the modified sequences described. The following description explains how this approach of stopping the data flow facilitates achieving a fast lossless handover for LTE.
  • the PDCP sequence numbers are maintained during handover (used by the target eNodeB) and the source eNodeB selectively forwards all downlink PDCP SDUs (with SN) 105 (from the buffer 107) that have not been acknowledged by the UE to the target eNodeB, and discards any remaining downlink Outer ARQ PDU segments that have not yet been transmitted.
  • the source eNodeB also forwards uplink PDCP SDUs 105 successfully received in-sequence to the telephone network 7 (SAE Gateway), forwards uplink PDCP SDUs 105 received out-of-sequence, from the buffer 107, to the target eNodeB and discards any remaining uplink Outer ARQ PDUs.
  • the uplink PDCP SDUs received out-of-sequence need to be marked as Uplink Packets by the PDCP entity 97 before they are forwarded to the target eNodeB PDCP entity 97 so that the target eNodeB can establish that the packet is an out-of-sequence uplink packet and not a downlink packet for transmission to the UE.
  • the target eNodeB PDCP then forwards these out-of-sequence uplink packets to the telephone network 7 once the missing uplink packets have been received from the UE.
  • the source eNodeB synchronizes the data transmission status between itself and the UE with the target eNodeB during HO. This is facilitated by stopping the data flow at an appropriate instant in time during the HO execution phase, considering that the interruption time for the user plane data is minimal.
  • the Outer ARQ entity in the source eNodeB and in the UE sends the other a status report (indicating what that device has received successfully) before stopping the data flow in the appropriate direction.
  • This status message may be a simplified report indicating only what the device has received.
  • the Outer ARQ status reports exchanged at the time of handover are based on the Outer ARQ SDUs 109 using the PDCP sequence numbers (SNs), rather than status reports based on the Outer ARQ PDUs 111, as these would have to be larger in size (to include the PDCP SN as well as the OFFSET and LENGTH data which are needed to identify each Outer ARQ PDU 111) and may delay the handover.
  • PDCP SN based Status Reports the size of the Status PDU can be reduced to an order of tens of bytes, facilitating fast transmission at the time of handovers.
  • the Outer ARQ entities may exchange status PDUs based on the smaller sized ARQ PDUs. Unlike the status PDUs used during handover, these status PDUs will include the OFFSET and LENGTH data needed to identify the smaller ARQ PDUs.
  • Desideratum I is met by having PDCP entities 97 which are capable of buffering and forwarding the DL data packets from source to target eNodeB.
  • the PDCP entities 97 may buffer the data packets generated by the application after the UL transmission is stopped until the UE is switched to the target eNodeB - this requires the UE to provide buffering not present in a conventional UE, but this may not be unduly problematic to implement.
  • the source eNodeB can synchronize the data transmission status between source and target eNodeB. This is because the source eNodeB can know accurately which are the PDCP SDUs that need to be transferred to the target eNodeB based on the data in the transmission and retransmission buffer.
  • the instance when the DL data is stopped is chosen to be most optimal according to our considerations so as to have minimum interruption time. If the source eNodeB continues to schedule DL data, the UE will not be able to successfully receive or acknowledge these data packets as, immediately after receiving the handover command, it would try to synchronise with the target cell. Eventually these packets would have to be forwarded to the target eNodeB and will have to be transmitted again through the target eNodeB resulting in inefficient usage of the air interface bandwidth.
  • the UE may not be able to receive acknowledgements from the source eNodeB and the UE would have to again transmit these AM packets in the UL direction to the target eNodeB resulting in inefficient usage of the air interface bandwidth.
  • RT real time
  • packets that are transmitted in the UL direction by the UE while it is trying to gain synchronisation in the target eNodeB may get lost due to bad radio conditions in the UL and could not be recovered if the data flow is not stopped.
  • it would be beneficial to avoid any packet loss even for real time services in the UL by stopping the UL data flow during handover execution while the delay could be compensated at the receiving end by the play out buffer.
  • Another advantage of having a definitive time instant for stopping the data flow is that a simplified implicit reordering of the data packets in the target eNodeB can be achieved if the forwarded DL data packets from the source eNodeB on the X2 interface are transmitted first to the UE followed by the data received from the telephone network 7 (MME/SAE Gateway on the S1 interface).
